The statements about providerism and europe not producing anything of value purely focusses on computer technology and not on any other type of technology. Take the agriculture sector; europe's not only produces tons of vegatables/fruits and meat, but it also has strong R&D programs such as seed enrichment, dna modification, etc. There are many other sectors out there

Europe is famous for banning DNA-modified crops under the precautionary principle.

You might be able to research them there, but you can't actually make them, and the article is about production not theoretical R&D.
